2012 Rear end noises ???

[Katmandu]

Ever since my 2012 was brand new, we've had gear whine while coasting. I now some gear whine is normal and not harmful, but when is too much ?

Also, recently we've noticed on (2) separate occasions while driving real slow (under 10MPH) the rear end made a loud clunking noise and felt a "bump" at the same time.

I'm more concerned about the clunking than I am the gears whining.

I do plan on taking it in to the dealer soon, but find the time.

Anyone else experience these issues with the rear ends of your Libertys ?

BTW, our 2012 Liberty only has 6,900 miles on it right now.

It's sounds to me like a bad u-joint. Crawl under you Jeep and grab the rear driveshaft and try to move it. If your u-joints are bad there should be some movement.

If it's not that then it's a pinion bearing issue with the rear axle.

Any whine from the diff is bad,take it in to the dealership.

You're under warranty still. Take it in and have them check it out. If you're getting a clunk then something is definitely wrong.
